【404】The man who planted lotus root in the water, Wang Shichao
"It's not that I want to be content, but my strength only allows me to have so much!!"
"Your brother, I have a bad mind. I am a person who sells toys at a loss even if they are sold out. So what do people like me do with so much money?"
"And if you give me too much money, it's really useless to me. If you give me the money, I just use it to deposit it in the bank. Plus, I already have enough money in the bank, so why should I still be dissatisfied?"
After replying to Li Bu with a smile, Li Hong followed Li Bu and Li Xiaowang into Lijia Village, and then walked slowly towards Li Wanfu's house.
When Li Bu and the others were about to arrive at Li Wanfu's house, Xiao Bu and the little guy who were squatting at the door brushing their teeth immediately stood up with foam in their mouths and shouted happily to Li Bu: "Uncle Li Bu, Li Bu
Uncle, my grandparents said they would clear the pond and catch fish today, can you take us to catch fish later?"
"The mud in the fish pond is a bit deep, so when Uncle Li Bu takes you there, you can only help Uncle Li Bu watch the fish caught by Uncle Li Bu on the shore... Also, this person next to me
Who are you two? Come and say hello." After smiling, he stepped forward to help the two little guys wash their faces, and then Li Bu asked them to say hello to Li Hong and his son.
Hearing Li Bu's words, Xiao Bu and the little guy immediately turned around and greeted Li Hong and Li Xiaowang, saying, "Hello, uncle [Uncle Li Hong], hello, brother!!"
"Okay, okay, Ranran is getting cuter and sweeter, and her little mouth is so sweet. At noon, uncle will catch fish and make fish soup for you to eat."
And our little little Bu is also very cute. He looks exactly like your father when he was a child. Later, your uncle will catch fish for you and let grandma cook it for you to eat." He reached out and touched the little ones' little ones.
Behind his head, Li Hong also showed them the kind smile of his elders.
And just when Li Hong was praising the cuteness of the two little guys, Li Xiaowang suddenly came to Li Bu and asked Li Bu in a low voice: "Uncle, is this little brother your son, my brother?"
?”
"Yes, he is my uncle's biological son, your uncle and brother [a brotherly relationship that is closer than cousins, but weaker than full brothers.] Oh, so you must have the responsibility of being an older brother in the future and take good care of your younger brother.
"
Although he already has his own son, Li Bu still loves his nephew Li Xiaowang so much. Even though this nephew has gained weight recently and has grown a lot taller, Li Bu will still hug him if there is a chance.
While Li Bu and Li Hong were teasing each other's sons, Liu Yan walked out of the house carrying two baskets on a pole.
When she came out of the house and saw Li Hong and Li Bu, Liu Yan put down the basket and told them, "Xiao Hong, please go and help your brother to feed the chickens and ducks later, and then after feeding the chickens and ducks,
, Xiaobu, take Shichao with you to help catch fish.
I won’t go to the fish pond, I will help you look after the little guy here at home, and then when you get the fish back, I will kill the fish, dry them, and eat them during the New Year.”
"Okay, that's what we discussed just now. Shi Chao has already gone to the orchard. Mom, let's go up first. The little ones will trouble you." After smiling, he left the little ones to Liu Yan's care.
Li Hong and Li Bu picked up two baskets together and turned around to go to Li Bu's orchard.
They said they were going to Li Bu's orchard, but Li Hong and Li Bu still turned a corner and went to the fish pond raised by Li Wanfu halfway.
Then the two brothers worked together to lift the large net bag at the water outlet, and then poured all the small fish roes inside into the basket.
After pouring the small fish roe, the two brothers put the big net bag in place again to prevent the fish in the fish pond from running away with the current.
After placing the big net bag, Li Bu and Li Hong took out a few big fish hidden in the small roe and threw them back into the fish pond. Then they picked up the pole and carried the basket with fish to Li Bu's again.
That's the orchard.
Wang Shichao, who was carrying feed in the orchard and was a heavy man, looked up and saw Li Bu and Li Hong coming with baskets, so he immediately ran over to take a look out of curiosity.
When he saw that Li Hong's basket was full of small fish roes, Wang Shichao was surprised at first, and then immediately asked Li Bu and the others with puzzled faces: "Why are you catching so many fish here? You are preparing for a picnic."
, BBQ?”
"What are you grilling? This is for the ducks. By the way, after feeding the chickens and pigeons, we will catch fish. My eldest brother cleared the pond today..." He smiled bitterly and said that the small fish was for the ducks.
After eating, Li Bu smiled and invited Wang Shichao to go catch fish.
Hearing Li Bu's words, Wang Shichao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Bu and asked a little puzzled: "What is a clear pond, but I like catching fish, I will go with you later, and wait
We don’t want to feed these small fishes we catch to the ducks. We take them back and fry them. The fried fish are delicious..."
"Cleaning the pond means draining the water in the fish pond, and then catching all the fish in it. If you want to eat small fish roes, that's easy. You can take a basket back later and eat until you're afraid..."
After replying to Wang Shichao with a smile, Li Bu and Li Hong poured the small fish into the duck pen for the ducks to eat. Then after the ducks finished eating the fish, Li Bu stopped raising them and just threw them away.
They were let out to forage freely.
After releasing the ducks, Li Bu, Wang Shichao, and Li Hong released the free-range chickens, and then took rice, wheat, and corn up the mountain to feed them. They also fed pigeons along the way.
After everything was settled, Li Bu, Li Hong and Wang Shichao took some hand nets and buckets from Li Bu's orchard and walked slowly towards Li Wanfu's fish pond.
When the three of them walked to the fish pond, Li Wanfu was at the water outlet. While smoking a cigarette, he muttered in confusion: "Damn it, when I left just now, there was obviously something in this net pocket."
There are a lot of small fish, why did I go back and get a bucket, but the small fish disappeared?"
"Dad, there's no need to look for it. Just now I saw that many of the small fish roes in the net bag were dead, so I fed them to the ducks..." Hearing Li Wanfu's muttering, Li Bu immediately put down his bucket.
He copied the net and replied to Li Wanfu with a smile.
Hearing the familiar voice, Li Wanfu looked up first.
When he saw that it was Li Bu and the others coming, he got up from the water outlet and looked at Li Bu and said angrily: "You know it's wasteful. It's easier to kill freshly dead fish. If you kill them, just put them on the salt bar."
Then I basked in the sun and dried it. I wonder how fragrant it would be..."
"Brother Li Bu is a bastard, Brother Li Bu is a bastard, Brother Li Bu... Oops!!"
Just when Li Wanfu was teaching Li Bu not to cherish but to waste, Wang Shichao's voice suddenly came from behind them.
Then just when Li Bu wanted to turn around and scold him that he was the bastard, Li Bu, Li Hong, Li Wanfu, father and son were immediately dumbfounded to see Wang Shichao diving directly from the shore into the fish pond like a lotus root.
